In accordance with Commissioner’s regulations, the Board will appoint a Health and Safety Committee (referred to as the Districtwide School Safety Team) composed of representation from District officials, staff, bargaining units and parents.
The committee will meet periodically, as necessary, to review and discuss the condition of occupied school buildings to assure that they are safe and maintained in a state of good repair. The Superintendent will ensure that the committee is appropriately involved in the activities required by the Commissioner’s regulations. During construction projects, the Health and Safety Committee will be expanded to include the architect, construction manager and contractor(s).
